Thread #890808

Hi hey hello
Hope you had a nice weekend!
Mine was okay up until like two hours ago when I discovered my headphone cable has a frayed wire and I can only get full audio through it if I perch the cable ever so appropriately.

I definitely didn't just take melatonin five secnods ago expecting to go to sleep

How long does melatonin usually take to register in you?

half an hour but it's not the only thing putting me to sleep

So do you need to watch your stuff first ton?

not technically I'm just sleepy
anything works I can try and keep myself awake if needed

although getting to go to sleep would be cool

What is sleep there is only anime

jujutsu
majo tabi
gochiusa
munou
adachi


we'll have ton wait just a few minutes and then get to his stuff

jujutsu
if he does we'll just sub other stuff in and catch up with him tomorrow

let's start

Hopefully he doesn't pass the fuck out in the meanwhile

My willpower is ironclad!

Yeah there's no shortage of things to watch after the weekend's come and gone

>>890823
More like hadaka apron-clad

Kudos to the MC for just going straight ham at Sukuna even after he thinks he's dead.

Definitely can't make deals with demons

He's definitely going to make one though!
Sukuna can't be trusted but the rules he makes probably can.
These kinds of magic creatures always have to play by the rules they make up.

Respectable goal from Blindfold-sensei
The jujutsu organization he works for seems to be run by dicks and I can't blame him for wanting to tear it down.

Guess Itadori will get a bit of a training arc inbetween now and that exchange competition his school's participating in.

Oh well these curse monsters are causing a commotion.

If he can't rely on tradingo ut with his inner demon, he's going to need a power up
and wow this scene

Hah hah
Using fingers as a power scale
That's a new one.

That was a pretty dark scene for a Shounen Jump series.
Even if they were villains.

Kinda funny how black-hair is trying to turn a sympathetic new leaf because he was pretty affected by Itadori's "death"
But Itadori's still doing pretty fine.

Wow we're getting some funky OST
Nice.

I kinda wonder if his inner demon is going to have like
hmm
maybe is more of a good guy than you'd really think
but that stuff will be way down the road if it happesn

I could see Sukuna playing a bit of a "I'm evil but only because evil was done to me" revealing.
There's a limit to how much good they can squeeze into this series' monsters and creatures like him though.
Like they're called curses and things like cursed spirits, and pretty specifically state they're

an embodiment of negative emotions and energy.
You can maybe justify them with better character development but I think being actually good is out of their reach.

that episode went by quickly
majo tabi
okay
lets start

I am alive daijoubu
now if only it would load up
ok I'm lady

Tabitabi

Tabi Bee Toe

This chapter is fun.

>Your body will not be able to lie
Just try me bitch

Reminds me of that comedy movie from around like 2010 or so about a world where no one could lie and the one man who one day realized he could.
Er I think it might've been no one had tried lying before and he was the first.
Might've been like The Invention of Lying or something?

what a lie to pick

Yeah, no kidding.
Is it only a lie because she herself thinks she's beautiful?
I'm pretty sure I could say a line like that without choking.

Maybe if she picks another lie we'll find out

Elaina...

She sure has a high opinion of herself.

you can solve all your problems with time magic, right

Sure, yeah
Just go back to a time when the king didn't force everyone to always tell the truth.

Wow a full conversation between two people told in no words

She's definitely become a lot since we last saw her.

Kirara really liked Saya this episode

She's kind of the person that would charm him.

Wishes like that are like, quintessential monkey's paw wishes.
Wishing for everyone to tell the truth will inevitably backfire.

TOKI O TOMARE

Hard to tell what's Elaina being compelled by the spell and what's her just being a bit of a bitch.

According to herself in the novel she's about 20% more mean than she'd usually be

So she knows she's already a bit inherently mean but still writes truthfully that she has a pure heart, eh

(her lie choices are pretty different in the anime but I think they're good choices for comedic reasons)

also the solution to get into the castle is way different

Honestly if you spend like five seconds thinking properly about it, being cursed to tell the truth is no barrier at all.
There's plenty of truthful lies you can tell.

This is that radical honesty kinda thing
always ends badly

Saya fighting everything offscreen is accurate.

Action is unimportant when you've got PREACHY MONOLOGUES to speak.

I have comments on that too soon

Looks like that nerd got swept off his feet

gotem

Shabby Witch-chan catching the prince on the rebound

NAPE

yeah the nape is extremely powerful

alright I'll try to be quick

the anime gets to the people having an unspoken agreement to be quiet real fast, but in the original there's some fun dialogues between Elaina and townsfolk, including the bread baker and a guy on the street who makes the flat chest comment that they gave the guard instead

Elaina spends a good three days here which, while I don't know if that would qualify one to speak on how someone runs their country, makes the speech to the king a little less preachy-feeling, compared to the anime where we only have so much time to spare.

Elaina makes the truth is the sword kept sheath lies etc comments as narration and doesn't actually say that to the king.

Also in the hallway Eihemia is the one who says the pen is mightier than the sword instead of Saya and she beams while holding up her little book the whole time they're walking.

That chapter was a bit more of a Kino no Tabi-poi episode than some of the other ones.
Probably because the limitation of no lying is much more like the more abstract and philisophical peculiarities of Kino no Tabi than some of the other stuff we've seen.

Oh important
the solution to enter the castle is writing a letter not in pieces but all at once and have it signed with "the king's signature", then erasing "this is the king's signature" from the bottom which forced it to be correct.
Elaina spends a lot more time experimenting with lies.

I'm coffee'd up and ready to go
>>890880
that honestly makes a lot more sense and is in line with the original, so I'd buy it

gochiusa

okay
lets start

Rabbit Horse

>>890878
Honestly when it first came up that it was all across a bunch of different pages what I thought happened was they wrote out various truthful statements and erased parts of them to get the message they needed.

They all get to enjoy a coffee celebration but Sharo doesn't because she fucking DIES from caffeine.

give the girl some decaf

Oh I guess this time they did the school culture festival first and then the sports festival or sports activity like a marathon.
Most of the time it's the other way around in anime.

They ended up keeping the rope.

That pose sure showed a lot of Chiya leg

>Bakers are the masters of waking up early
While she's technically correct, I do think it's
Yup.
Too much to expect of Cocoa.

>applie pie

You can't spell apple pie without A LIE

Syaro seems like she'd be even worse a jogging partner than Cocoa.

And then everyone started morning jogging together except for Cocoa.

Burning lots of calories is nice cause you can eat a ton more

I do like my snacking
But my work has me burning a lot of calories so I'm not too worried about it these days.

mine sure doesn't.

Get back into Ring Fit nerd

Sharo needs to be careful what she agrees to when it comes to Rize.

you're kind of just one of the girls at this point

She's a lady, not a girl!

How Scooby-Doo-poi

close call for tippy

Imagine if Tippy had dunked in the river there.
Chino having to watch the spirit of her grandfather just fucking drown in front of her.

I was thinking more what he'd look like with wet fur but ok

Wet fur like that is heavy!
It would weigh him down!

Cocoa has the right mindset.
Some times you just gotta leap into the arms of a demon.

Cocoa just running along holding Chino's hand in total bliss.

SEKU HARA MOUNTAIN

Every now and then the cute antics they get up to in this show kinda feel like extremely wholesome drug trips.
This one in particular.

Everything in this show is very wholesome

Yeah but it doesn't always feel like the characters are all experiencing a mutual delusional trip

the coffee was spiked

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy

I want whatever coffee they were all drinking

glazed jelly donut flavor

I want Chino's dad to call me "~kun"

I think that's a reasonable thing to wish for

Thank you for accomodating me
I'm going to go sleep now

thank you for anime
I'm really looking forward to the episode 7 preview tomorrow, but what's also important is I get book 3 on tuesday.

Yeah you better book it

okay ton thanks for anime
munou
okay
lets start

CUTE OVER TIME FOR SLAUGHTER

Though I guess the hook at the end of last week was not a very nice slaughter.

we left off at a very dangerous moment

Well for the time being it looks like she's got some A-rank Luck.
Or rather she's just such a trusting girl she couldn't possibly conceive the idea that Nana is responsible for the photo.

Still though Nana's probably got to lie fast to convince her she's got nothing to do with the photo.

We'll see if she's going to kill this girl this episde
she's running out of targets

Oh yeah, that's true, isn't it.
This is the first time she's killed someone who got discovered by someone else on the island.
Which means they've got to put on a funeral for the guy.

>The Talented have the ability to evolve their own powers
That's kind of scary though.
Some of these powers have been kind of weak but others are pretty hack-y.
Like if powers can evolve, could that mean the lick girl could really bring people back to life?
What would the guy with pre-cog power evolve into? Or the guy who could time travel?

Hah hah she's playing him pretty well here.
He still is working under the assumption that she can read his mind, even if she's the killer.
Which is actually a great foil for her, since it measdsdddddddddddddddddd
What.
Oh I thought her licks had actually brought him back to life.
But there's just someone with necromancy powers.

She's having to try so hard

Yeah, good thing she's amazingly good at thinking on her feet.
Her lying and acting improv is 10/10.

I get the feeling this girl and the necromancer guy are her next priority targets.
The necromancer formost because his power is a danger to her stealth.
But yeah, I had the feeling the girl was a priority because she was kinda protecting the necromancer.

Gosh this shota is a chuuni nerd.

Looks like something is eating at him though.
Oh it's just a scar.
I thought it was something like a penalty for his power.

So far the people she's actually killed, aside from the first guy, have been kind of dickish or at least obnoxious.
But the girl of that pairing seems earnestly nice.
And the necromancer is a bit of a chuuni nerd but he didn't seem like a bad kid.

Yeah, I'm raelly interested to see who her next victim is

ohh
there it is
also the first guy she killed wasn't really that bad

That's what I said, yeah.
He was a bit pathetic but nothing actually bad.
The time-travelling guy wasn't really bad either but he was obnoxious as fuck.
And it's a bit hard to have remorse about the pre-cog guy, even if he was just a kid.

Hah hah hah hah
Wow she really got PLAYED here.

I bet the boy's been dead from the beginning.
That story she told about him in the theatre, he died in the fire.
Or maybe not.
Maybe the story's just entirely different.

Ah guess I was pretty spot-on, yeah.
He died in the fire and she revived him.
It's kind of romantic in a way.
Kinda.

She's crazy crazy
but
now Nana is going to kill her

Really most of the kids on this island either have some legitimate crazy problems, or budding ones.
I can kinda see why there's organizations out there in the broader world that want them dead.
Imagine all these kids running around the world with their mental states, wrecking havoc with their powers.

Each target she's gone after has had her losing her flawless stealth more and more.
Last time she got outright busted by the pre-cog guy.
And this time she actually admitted it to someone's face.

Guess we'll see next episode
I wonder when she's going to get found out
feels like soon

yeah
it's getting harder and harder for her

okay
adacho
adachi
okay
lets start

Reaaaady
Comfy gay times

Wow what a dream to have in the bath.

I really like the internal narrative monologues you get from these two in this series.
They're kinda poetic and introspective.
Internal monologues are pretty common in LN series but often enough when they transition to anime a lot of the monologue gets cut since it's kind of narrative bloat that doesn't work as well in cinematic media.
So I'm happy they left them in for this series.

Oh that was a good DOYA face from Shimamura.
A good DOYA face is important.

Hah hah
That was a good Japanese pun

The designs for this are always so cute

Wow this busty girl is a bully
She keeps teasing the twintails girl.
Good teasing though.

Feels kinda like a bedroom that's been moved out of.
I wonder if Shimamura has an older sibling that's out of her house by now.

Adachi doing her hardest to not go full spaghetti

I also really like stuff like this.
Showing the same situation from two different perspectives.
It's nice to get inside both their heads.

Lots of head bopping this episode

Gotta bop heads when you can't bop much else

The sheer teenage awkwardness that makes up Adachi's character is adorable.
Definitely makes me a bit nostalgic for high school years.

Kyaaaaaaaa
Oh aw
She bought Adachi's excuse too hard there.

But maybe if she hadn't bought the lie she wouldn't refused then.
And then RIP their friendship.

cute pajamas

Really though she bought Adachi's lie there, but if you look at how Adachi acted when she said yes, there's no way it's just because it could've been anyone.

Well from the PV forv next episode at least it seems like Christmas goes over well for the two of them.
Christmas is a couple's day in Japan so it's risky for them to go into it not as a couple!

looks like a comfy episode

thanks for anime

Yup yup, thanks for anime
Good luck with the week!
